Do you have a source for that? There was a lot of speculation, but to my knowledge she never revealed her vote.

"President elect Obama was inspirational and I'm certain he will continue to be." "...this country... continues to surprise, it continues to renew itself, it coninues to beat all odds and expectations. You just know that Americans are not going to be satisfied until they really do form that perfect union and while the perfect union may never be in sight, we keep working at it and trying. And I just want to close on a personal note, as an African-Americam, I'm especially proud."I transcribed her statement accurately but it is still CRITICAL that you view her demeanor, to make a judgement. This was the day after the election before she could sublimate her emotions beneath a more neutral and diplomatically flat response, as in the following.

"There is a widely held belief in Washington, anyway, that you voted for Barack Obama," Braver said.Why callObama's election a step toward a more "perfect union?""And as secretary of state, I'm going to keep my partisan or non-partisan views to myself on that," Rice said. "But I think all Americans were taken with the fact that we were able, after the long history that we've been through, that initial birth defect of slavery that we elected an African American."
What does the exuberance of her response and her unrestrainable smile tell you?
If the election results made her "especially proud", do you think she went into the voting both and pulled the lever for NOT "especially proud" and a less "perfect union?"
I have no doubt where I'd place my bet!
